1. Gravity and Time
Floating, through the atmosphere
Planet earth brings another day
Ages, of orbiting the sun
Reveals the mortal paths we must take
CHORUS
Gravity pulls and wears my body down
To the earth and its treasures I found I'm bound
Running a race that I will never win
Time starts creeping up before I can begin
Eclipsing, all that we will do
The numbness blinds us in our decay
I can see
What's happening to me
Nothing I do, nothing I do will change the way
Motion moves too fast
CHORUS
Gravity pulls and wears my body down
To the earth and its treasures I found I'm bound
Running a race that I will never win
Time starts creeping up before I can begin
Begin a new day
With hope of something new
Looking to the future
Life slips away from you....
CHORUS
Gravity pulls and wears my body down
To the earth and its treasures I found I'm bound
Running a race that I will never win
Time starts creeping up before I can begin
2. Ambrosia
When I see you, I lose control
A strange desire grabs my soul
Feeling helpless in your eyes
I crave your touch with all my life
CHORUS
Words I wish I had said
Wearing my feelings on my face
How the tears fall like rain
To the ends of the universe
What I'd do for your embrace
How my heart bears the pain
Moved to tears by your smile
When held by passion, emotions soar
How my heart aches when you are near
For you I long, it's you I adore
CHORUS
Words I wish I had said
Wearing my feelings on my face
How the tears fall like rain
To the ends of the universe
What I'd do for your embrace
How my heart bears the pain
I crave you...
3. Mystic Land
Far away in a Mystic Land
The towering trees withold the light, from her sight
Will a saviour take her hand?
Break the chains of pain she wears, in dispair
Like a star in the distance
So far out of reach there's no hope, of its embrace
Delicate passion never fades
Plaques the heart until it breaks
CHORUS
There she waits in the moonlight
A graceful smile hides in her eyes
A veil of tears, for she's lost all hope
Bows her head and fades with the night
Across the waters she resides
Aboard the Dawn Treader I shall sail, against the night
Ivory castles climb the sky
The jester's laugh signifies, the torment
In the black I see a warm halo
Plays the heartstrings in my shell, the cracks begin
On arrival I'm too late
The hope is lost, my heart now breaks
CHORUS
Here I wait, on The Great Divide
I'll admire the art of her being
I'll never know what could be felt
The Passion inside is always deceiving
From the heart.
4. Static Exchange
Facing my regrets, I swallow the bitter pill
Of a man who sees, his dreams fade to dust
Investing all my prayers, awaiting results
God can you hear me? I feel so lost
CHORUS
So many come my way
Yet I feel so alone, so alone
In a universe so big
I feel so small, so small
So small, so small
Searching for connection, is the story of my life
Static Exchange, for all my strife
In a moment of bliss, I was graced by your presence
Revealing inner sadness, how I long for you
CHORUS
When you came my way
It broke my heart, my heart
In you I found my home
But, I'm so far away, far away
Far away, far away
CHORUS
When you came my way
It broke my heart, my heart
In you I feel complete
But, I'm so far away, far away
And I am lost, so lost
I feel so alone, so alone
So far away, from my home
Facing my regrets...
5. Fragile Fade
Monuments climb the sky
We must somehow leave our mark
A grain of salt in the sand
So minute is our part
Lifetimes pass like seconds
In the vortex of our time
It seems to be instilled within' us
The minute we're born, we're dying
CHORUS
In the horizon we will fade
Leaving behind all we've made
Our legacy will not last
Doomed to be in the past
Look to the brightest star in the sky
Is it dead when it finds your eye?
Do the heavens contain our destination?
Is it the home of our salvation?
Those who pass before us
Leave nothing but memories
They meet the great beyond
As we ponder the earth's mysteries
CHORUS
In the horizon we will fade
Leaving behind all we've made
Our legacy will not last
Doomed to be in the past
I can feel my life fading
I was born for dying
All I am is now fraying
Deep inside I am mourning
REPEAT CHORUS
6. An Ode to Friendship
Write me a letter
Will you pick up the phone
Give me a call
Will you chunk me a bone
It's been a week or two
Or maybe now it's been months
I thought it's time we speak
I guess I've finally had enough
CHORUS
Put our faith in the ones we know
We let our guards down again and again
Turned our cheeks for the final blow
Bruised and tattered, on who can we depend
For how long can this bridge be travelled on?
For how long will my welcome be spit upon?
Caught within' the feeling
Don't know what to do
With my senses reeling
I'll just let go of you
I won't be held by your vanity
I'm the one you've chose to forsaken
What we had has now become tragedy
I'm the one whose sadly mistaken
So much complication
Should I start anew
Life is so frustrating
When it involves you
I really don't think you know me
'Cause you do the things you do
I thought you'd always be there
But I finally see the truth
CHORUS
Put our faith in the ones we know
We let our guards down again and again
Turned our cheeks for the final blow
Bruised and tattered, on who can we depend
Caught within' the feeling
Don't know what to do
With my senses reeling
I'll just let go of you
You know it's so appealing
To hide from the truth
But my heart stripped of feeling
Reveals the burden of proof!
7. Piercing the Dark
I never saw it, I never thought to check the rear-view mirror
Cruisin' on by, feelin' alright; but I was under attack
Gaining speed with no escape, the Devil's getting nearer
What a surprise, he stole my life; he drove his horns in my back
I'm on my own now, time has left me
I hold my breath, in fear it's my last
CHORUS
Twilight is closing in fast
It's time to bid farewell
Sand has drained in my hour glass
Eternal sleep
Evil has taken its toll
My body's wrapped in death
My soul shall break beyond this
Piercing the dark!
Driven on down into the ground; the Devil wants my corpse here
Surrounded by black, physically blind; my spirit anxiously waits
Layed in bed, I'll soon be dead; but my end is not near
Light in black, up in the sky; I see the clouds start to break
I'm on my own now, time has left me
I hold my breath, in fear it's my last
CHORUS
Twilight is closing in fast
It's time to bid farewell
Sand has drained in my hour glass
Eternal sleep
Evil has taken its toll
My body's wrapped in death
My soul shall break beyond this
Piercing the dark!
Drifting up towards the light
My eyes are drawn back to the earth
I see my body pulled into its core
Silly pride upon his sleeve
The Devil thinks he's won this war
Then he turns to see me in the clouds
With some sort of hope he tries
As if he has a chance
Summoned his demons in attack
He thinks he'll stop my advance
Across the sky, a lightning storm you see
Pierce the dark, the light shines victory
I'm on my own now, time has left me
I hold my breath, in fear it's my last
CHORUS
Twilight is closing in fast
It's time to bid farewell
Sand has drained in my hour glass
Eternal sleep
Evil has taken its toll
My body's wrapped in death
My soul shall break beyond this
Piercing the dark!
8. Favour
Can I ask a favour of you my friend
Will you think of me when I'm gone
Can I be with you until your end
Will you hold me deep in your soul
CHORUS
Sometimes, sometimes, I get ever so lonely
Sometimes, sometimes, I can feel it dropping out below me
Can I burden you again my friend
Not much I want, will you lend an ear
Just a word, perhaps this song I'll send
Will you hold me tight, I'm so alone in here
Can you make some room for me
You see I've got this pain in my heart
Could we talk, have some sympathy
Before I finally fall apart
CHORUS
Sometimes, sometimes, what holds it all together
I cry, I cry, the things I love never matter
The coldness of the morning on my feet
Reflects the world in which I daily greet
I find comfort in our talks on our way
And the warmth that our smiles appear to display
If I could bury myself in one of these moments
I'd embrace them in the heart of my existence
But it's just a sad dream of ignorance
That slaps my face at the moment of experience
CHORUS
Sometimes, sometimes, I wonder if there's anyone like me
Sometimes, sometimes, I wonder if anyone understands me
Can I bother you one more time my friend
Please think of me when I'm gone
For a short time my heart you will mend
If you let me believe I'm in your soul
9. Graced By Her Majesty
You really don't care about my personality
I'm just an asset to your instability
You use me, abuse me, you trample on my heart
Like an actor on broadway, I keep playing this part
To make yourself look better, you need an extra lift
I'll assist you in your mission, I'll keep my thoughts hid
I'm always contemplating, the reasons that i bend
My kindness is my weakness, I'm scared that I'll offend
CHORUS
You'll never know the way that I feel
The injustice is always concealed
Ashamed of the infinite absence of strength
To stand up for myself and what I believe
Listen for the first time to my melancholy words
My smile's but a mask covering my hurt
I'm willing to reach out, to the souls that ease my pain
For my spirit's so broken and forever stained
CHORUS
You'll never know the way that I feel
The injustice is always concealed
Ashamed of the infinite absence of strength
To stand up for myself and what I believe
The heavens smiled on me
Graced By Her Majesty
Touched by the love inside her
Never said, just showing in the eyes
I would dive into her universe
I can see it swirling in her eyes
Give me strength to just say no
I'm so tired of no control
Through her eyes I see my soul
Heals my heart, makes me strong
Give me strength to just say no
I'm so tired of no control
Through her eyes I see my soul
Heals my heart, makes me strong
CHORUS
You'll never know the way that I feel
The injustice is always concealed
Ashamed of the infinite absence of strength
To stand up for myself and what I believe...
10. The Omega Man
Our world leaders have gone too far
Let's push the button and start this war
We can't hide inside our homes
Total destruction of the life we know
Just a doctor in the army
Took on the task of FALLOUT-SERUM
Magic potion close in hand
Dropped your bombs destroyed our land
Beneath my skin
I stab the needle in
I'm the only one
Who can walk in the sun
Strange sounds I hear at night
So, I roam the land in the light of day
It seems that no one's here at all
It only echoes when I call
It's kind of lonely, being the only one
One to talk to, one to share my fears
With nothing to lose
I searched one night
In hopes I'd find
A friend...
I sneak up to find a hooded gang
Faces mangled covered in shame
Snap a twig beneath my feet
A cinematic cue, forshadowed defeat
They turned in horror, I never felt so scared
Some kind of monster, staring back at me
Not able to move, I see them run
I've got to wake, here they come!!!
In a moment, before my eyes
I see my life, mistakes I hide
If I could go back, kill that serum
In this flash, I'd sing my requiem
I can't hide, from their eyes, trapped in my mind
Glaring hate, they see what they used to be
Galloping hoofs, closing in, death on my back
Strike me down, converge as one, mutilate me
Carry on, in this way, it starts again
Man rules man, empty earth, one must lead
An evil race, brought by war, truth exposed
Difference, no reward, OMEGA MAN
We can't hide inside our homes
Total destruction of the life we know
11. Dream
Just for today, I'll look over the fence
I'll imagine my life in another light
Not sinking in still waters, but thriving with the tide
A fragile walk with wonder, I'd give you all I've got
CHORUS
It's here, I dream
Longing for the touch of a love I can not have
You're, my dream
My heart is pouring over and is weakened by your eyes
I spoke with you today, just to get a taste
Like an addict to his drug, I need a fix
I wonder in my mind, what life could be like
If you'd walk with me through eternity
CHORUS
It's there, I dream
Longing for the touch of a love I can not have
You're, my dream
My heart is pouring over and is weakened by your eyes
Fragile fade into the night
It's just a dream killed by the light
Then I see you once again
Starts all over, I'll not let it end
CHORUS
You're, my dream
Walking hand in hand on golden summer sand
You're my dream
Just to feel your presence makes me a better man
You're my dream
You're my dream
